I KID. But Awesome story. I'm sure when they saw you making out with her some dudes were heartbroken.

Oddly enough something like that happened, but on Saturday. My friend invited me to another gay pride event, but this time it was a dance show benefiting the gay marriage initiative going on here, but it got weird fast.

First I couldn't find my friend and I was stoned and drunk before I even got there and just so confused. I couldn't find my friend and she wasn't picking up her phone. I decided to go to the bathroom cause I needed to put on some clear eyes. However when I got to the bathrooms there were long lines and I could honest to god not tell some the genders apart. It was a mixture of *******, butch girls and very feminine men. I ended up going into the womens bathroom cause my lack of better judgment decided that the line of girls was more manly then boys. Put on my clear eyes and walked out on some "girls" pointing and laughing.

On my way out to smoke a cigarette and hoping trying to call my friend, some dude walks up to me and tells me I am one of the most adorable guys he has ever seen and that he would like to buy me a drink, I turned him down and he just seemed so sad

When I got outside I found my friend and a new girl she just met who look liked she just walked out of boot camp. Made sure to give me the firmest handshake possible and I returned the favor.

And then she is all like "Are you challenging me?" and then I go "You'll know when I'm challenging you" then a whole crowd of lesbians looks like they were about to turn on me but I didn't blink and then she laughed and told me her name.

If I had to pay for a stamp I wouldn't bother voting.
Here you can send it in but you have to pay for the stamp or you can drop it off, there's a drop box at the library I go to otherwise I wouldn't bother.

Obama took it, to the surprise of no one. I honestly think everyone, Democrat and Republican alike, can be happy with this result. Why? Well, gather 'round younguns, old uncle Thunderpants'll tell ya.

People love to be pissed.

I love it, too. I hate shit with a fiery burning passion, like JRPGs, Nickelback and that Fun band, Episode 1, the New York Giants and Jersey Shore douchenozzles. However, it's not enough that I hate them. I love to hate them. I'll go out of my way to get angry about them. Everyone everywhere is all the same, except instead of getting massive hate-boners for pop culture shit, they do it for politicians and political parties. That hate fills them with dopamine and endorphins and every other feel good chemical and hormone that the human body can produce, as their subconscious tries desperately to calm them down. The result? People get high off of anger.

I don't think anyone should be surprised by the election results. I think Obama was the better choice. He might not have the clout he ought to have, domestically or abroad, but the fact is Romney's stated foreign policy was insane.

I'd say I've lost my faith in America, but that would be misleading. I've had no faith in this country for many years, now. What happens next is well-deserved. Not gonna burn the flag; I don't like wasting good matches. If I'm gonna burn off a match, I want it to mean something, so a better investment would be to let one of my drunken friends light his/her farts on fire with it. Still, re-electing George Soros' puppet? That's low. The good news is, the people who needed this to happen the most will die over the next few years as a result of strapping bombs to their chests, running into elementary schools, yelling "Allah Akbar!" and blowing themselves up.

The only thing that surprised me was how unsurprising it all was, really. This night went about as by the books as it gets.

Someone I was talking to made the comment, "The only prediction I am willing to make is that it is going to be a disaster for how the election is going to be run." It looks like he was wrong. He actually said it much more colorfully than that, but the profanity filter and my aversion to cussing on the internet stop me from the more colorful and accurate version of his wording.

The GOPs inability to separate fiscal conservative values from social conservative values is going to keep biting them in the ass. The only problem is, they'll just find someone more right wing to run in '16. That's their moronic solution to governing right now- "fuck compromise, fuck moderation, let's just become more conservative." That mindset is going to cause a rift in the party that will be much much worse than the rise of the tea-party, but hopefully some good will come out of it. Hopefully the moderate Republicans (the few that remain) will figure out that the white-makes-right Grover Norquist signing idiots are just an albatross weighing on their political future.

In other news, just did my first spambot deletion in the General Gaming Board.

I can believe it's legal. Too bad Colorado wasn't the only one to do it first. What a boom for tourism and all the new venues to play. Still, fucking wierd day. Everyone around here always walked around smoking anyway, but I never did. I think I will roll one for the old morning walk. When in Rome, and all that.

Tell that to..... everyone. People smoke on public transportation. I think that's really rude.

The thing is everything started taking off for me. I am a far better player now then I was two months ago. I was thinking of making a move then all that shit happened. I Buckled down even more, made a shit load of local connections, and found a few really good song writers. Now, on weekends, people from close states will come for the weekend. Smoking bars will have people playing all the time. I think there is potential for the scene to explode. If I work my ass off, I wouldn't mind getting in on that.

I helped open a bar in Downton Denver and the owner has several bars and books for the for bigger venues. I need to keep working seven days a week.

It will be stoners, too. Every genre will explode but I love the jam band garbage and jazz. The Jam band is already a good scene with the type of people who will come out three or four times a week. Give those types, from all over the country, a place to sit down at a bar and smoke the best weed cheap and legal. Shit, perfect crowd.

It all depends on how they pass the controls. Maybe there will be no smoking bars. Maybe they will regulate the potency. Still a lot of questions but if they just open the doors everything about this city will change. Everything.

And yeah. Just smoking on stage any place. Some places I already do. Some places people in the crowd pass it off to you.

Boozers are never fun by the way. You guys suck.

But it has to open up well before the entire country does. It needs to become a destination for weed, frankly.

Score. The owner is an old geek, like us; but also a dead head. It's already established, he just moved to a better building. Right smack downtown in Capital Hill, get it? We are talking twenty year regulars helped move. My friend is doing a lot of the new painting. Painting as in art work. She is doing the fucking bathrooms, for example. Best of all, the building rocks. It's huge, with a labryinth (spell that dick heads) inside. It has two patio areas that are big. The building is huge and awesome. It has two full stages seprated enough to run two bands at once. One with a 100+ capacity. The backstage is all the twists and turns.

I realized from the context of your post that the smoking in public law isn't enforced, so that was my point. It wasn't legal to smoke in public in Colorado before and it's not now. Whether or not it's enforced probably won't change either. So if nothing has changed in those senses, why are you going to smoke outdoors now if you weren't before?

I got sick last night and I can't smoke weed right now but this is great. There were a lot of people crying as the results of the gay marriage bill passing, I think this has made a lot of people here in Washington very happy.

I will smoke on walks now. I'm still not so used to it being so excepted. It's just .... still wierd.

But Colorado is almost always sunny. The mountains are amazing. Hopefully the music gets a lot better. You're only in Chicago, right? It's a close, not bad, vacation destination. Closer then Washington.

Washington is going to be the hip place to be, too.

This is all good. Just give our two states two or three years to make a mark. Shit, we have an international airport that's nice, DIA. I bet people on international travel will take the time to stop if it's just opened up. Try some famous Colorado hash. It's all a fucking good angle.

I also bet they enforce no public smoke a LOT more. I bet on the mall in Denver it will be put to an end for all but the most discreet smokers. People will start rolling weed in their tabacco; shit like that.

As for gay marriage, I don't know what to think. Honestly, I'm really confused. I may as well just ask the question. If I've been misinformed, I'm sure someone can give me proper fact. Anyway, the thing I keep asking is why do gay people want to marry? Isn't marriage an institution of God? The only reason homosexuality is looked upon as "bad," is because it says so in the bible. Take God out of the equation, and there really is nothing wrong with homosexuality. I know some say it's counter-productive, as same-sex partners cannot create a human life, but then again, look at how many people there are in this world that don't have kids. If "gayness" is counter-productive or anti-evolution, then so is being single. There are loads of hetero-couples that just live together. They don't care about marriage; they like the arrangement as it is. So, I ask why gays even want to marry.

I've always wanted to go to Denver it seems nice, my mom might move out there next year so that would be my best chance. And if not I'll stop by when I drive across country.

I think if we are talking about what would be a bigger boon for tourism Washington would probably get a lot coming in on account of gay marriage and pot being legalized and Seattle and Olympia are just awesome too.

But it all depends in the governor will run it, and it seems we hit a snag here. The gubernatorial race is too close to call right now. If the democrat wins it wont be a problem as he has showed support for the two, however the republican hasn't(particularly gay marriage) been supportive of either and might do something to curb both of them. We shall see.

Marriage is a legal contract. It affords a couple that have entered into it certain benefits and rights. If one member of an unmarried couple is in the hospital the other can't get in to see them sometimes because they aren't considered family. If one member dies without a will, the other can't inherit the house that they share, or keep the children that they adopted together (or had artificially inseminated, or children from a previous relationship). Then there are tax breaks, and a lot of other pluses to a couple getting married that I can't think of because it doesn't really affect me.

You're right DL the Feds will likely ignore the issue. Which is what I don't want them to do.

I can see Obama being asked what he thinks about the legalization thing in Colorado and dodging the question, sayuing he has bigger things to worry about, which will be a cop out. I jealously want him to either say the Feds aren't going to enforce it and hopefully spur Congress to just legalize on the federal level, or say "Fuck Colorado I'm sending in the US Marshalls". Either way make some issue of it where the resolution applies to all the states. Don't just ignore Colorado and then if/when a Republican is elected president he can choose to crack down on weed since nothing was set in stone by Obama.

Personally I’m sort of happy BH0 got in.
I can always produce guns and I have enough to keep them going for me and my children and an decent bit left for the grandkids.
But to avoid the draft I’d have to leave the country, and Mitt was a warmonger IMO.
................
Oregon was close on legalization too it's was 55% no and 45% yes.
I'm happy about WA and CO, WA is just a short drive for me
But the fucking feds aren't going let it go and might cut off federal funding to those states if they don't re-criminalize it.

This is a good point. Why does anyone want to marry? If they want to be trapped in a legally binding contract with some stranger they've known for a year or two, let them see how shitty it is. You never really know someone unless you grew up with them.
